Professores em regime de contrato temporário: uma análise do impacto no rendimento dos alunos das escolas públicas estaduais do Ceará

Abstract

In the presence of temporary teachers in all state schools, it becomes necessary to identify the impact that these professionals, governed by temporary contracts, have with respect to the students of 8th grade (9th year) of state schools in the state of Ceará in the period of 2011, with reference to student proficiency in disciplines of math and portuguese of the Brazil Exam of 2011. To measure this impact, were taken into consideration some variables related to the characteristics of students and their families, once that, according to the literature, these are the variables that proved more related to academic performance of students. In the present study a model of multiple linear regression was used, with the use of cross section data and of dummy variables estimated using ordinary least squares (OLS). From the results, it was found that the estimated coefficient relative to official teachers, as expected, showed a much greater positive impact relative to temporary teachers with respect to the student proficiency in the disciplines of math and portuguese.
